Vectra today announced that it was honored with the prestigious Grand Trophy Winner distinction for its Cognito threat-detection and hunting platform at the 2018 Golden Bridge Awards.

The Cognito platform from Vectra provides full visibility into cyberattacker behaviors – from internet-of-things (IoT) and user devices to cloud and data center workloads – leaving attackers with nowhere to hide. Cognito uses AI to perform non-stop, automated threat detection with always-learning behavioral models to quickly and efficiently expose hidden and unknown attackers before they do damage.

“We are incredibly grateful for this coveted industry-wide acclaim from the Golden Bridge Awards,” said Vectra CEO Hitesh Sheth. “This distinction reaffirms that our Cognito platform is at the forefront of AI-driven cybersecurity innovation in detecting and hunting for hidden cyberattacks.”

At the 2018 Golden Bridge Awards, Vectra was also honored with the following awards:

Gold winner in Data Center Innovations

Gold winner in User Behavior Analytics

Silver winner in Network Security Solution Innovations

Bronze winner in Cloud Security Innovations

The annual Golden Bridge Awards program encompasses the world’s best in organizational performance, innovations, products and services, executives and management teams, women in business and the professions, innovations, best deployments, product management, public relations, marketing, corporate communications, international business, and customer satisfaction programs from every major industry in the world. Organizations from all over the world are eligible to submit nominations including public and private, for-profit and non-profit, largest to smallest and new start-ups.

Cognito Detect and its AI counterpart, Cognito Recall, are the cornerstones of the Cognito platform.
